not cool the oven, SO that food cooked
in this oven is more healthy and

The charge made by Senator Sawyer of the

Tered $4,000 to speak for the Hazen bill will
not, we regret to say, create much of shock.
Notibecause there has been any evidence that
money was icing corruptly used in this
particular contest but because of the pre-
vailing impression that money is used in all
such contests, when other arguments prove
insufficient. How that impression has been
created it is hardly necessary to point out,
but 1t rests upon a certain amount Of fact,
that is on corruption proved against railroads
in contests similar to this one. The super
structure that has been built en- this foun-
dation is perhaps greatly out of proportion
to it, for probably the am cunt of direct bril-
berry is less than is suspected But the occa-
sional bribery that crops out in these con-
Is, byno means their only demoralzing
feature. The way the money OF. stockhold-
ers is spent to hire attorneys" to carry
through schemes concerning which the most
Of the stockholders have never been consult
ed, and which quite likely are destined to en-
rich the few at the expense of the many Is
quite as reprehensible. A proper presenta-
tion OF the Boston & Maine case or the case
OF the Concord railroad at Concord does not
require tenth of the attorneys" who are
under pay. The great majority are en-
ployed to argue privately with members and
to create public sentiment in favor of the
respective bills for which they are at
work. They are nothing but lobbyists,
We believe that bill is now before the New
Hampshire limiting the number of attor-
neys railroad company can employ in a
case Of this kind. A measure Of that nature
is certainly in the interest of good morals.

In his room on the fourth floor Of the
Western Union Building sat James Ham

and gives the time to a half dozen electric
clock companies. He was laughing hear

How many clock wires do you have?"
There are five lines. One goes up Broad

Mean time. A mean solar day Is the

Mr.. Edge rton,s Views.

Ii civil service reform is ever handed over
70 the tender merces Of commission the
views OF majority of which agree with
commissioner Edgertons it will stand a very
poor show. Mr. Edgerton is apparently i'm
bued with the exploded notion that the Off
ces belong, not to the people, but to the exist-
ing administration or the appointing power.
Any question by citizen or by an associa-
tion OF citizens as to how they have been
filled-whether in accordance with tho law
or In defiance of it's in his view imperti-
nent. 1t is meddling with sonebody else's
business, and only proceeds from desire to
hurt the administration. Before Mr.. Edger-
ton published his opinion in the Seebereer
case it had been generally considered that il
was not only the privilege but the duty as
well of citizen to take some interest in the
proper enforcement of the laws, and to call
attention to violations of them. But Mr..
Edgerton practically takes the ground that
whether the civil service law is enforced or
not is nobody's business except that of the
particular persons appointed to enforce it,
ana tnat citizens who interest themselves in
tne matter are meddling with what is none
Oh thelr business. That is if Collector See
berger turned out clerk who, under the civ
II service law should have been retained or
made an appointment which under the law
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1887-09-08

was illegal. for citizen who was aware of
the facts to call the civil service commission
er's attention to them was not only a work
of supererogation, but Of mean and malicious
meddlssomeness. Edgerton like Higgins no
doubt considers the civil service law a great
humbug, and judging from his opinion as ex-
pressed in the Seeberger case his acceptance
OF seat ON the commission was for the pur-
pose OF multiplying 1t. At any rate that would
be the result II the doctrines he lays down
were put In practice, and he is intelligent
enough to know 1t. His opinion will win
him great applause from the Jacksonians,
and as it would make the civil service law a
dead letter, no doubt it will be hailed by
them as one of the soundest and most states
manlike documents the century has produced.

The people who profess alarm at the pro-
posed fisheries conference in Washington
seem to be under the impression that this
plan will confer upon the Secretary Of State
some new powers As a matter of fact the
only essential difference between this
method of carrying on negotiations and the
method which has been employed up to
the present time is that the new plan
saves time and gives better chance for a
free interchange of opinions. At any time
since the negotiations began the State De-
partment, with the consent OF the Presi-
dent, has had the power to make a treaty on
the subject of the fisheries with Great Brit
ain. 1t has had the power to make treaty
that should involve a total remission of the
dirty on Canadian fish. OF course the treaty
would not become operative until it was rat
ihed by the Senate and the legislation
needed to carry it into effect passed by both
branches of Congress. Mr.. Bayard, assisted
by two lawyers, sitting on one side of table
In Washington with the british commission
ers on the other side, will have the same
power as Mr.. Bayard sending letters across
the Atlantic to the British foreign office, but
no greater, and any arrangement he agrees to
will have no more force OF prestige than if it
had been made through Minister Phelps in
London. Yet there are some advantages in
this method. 1t saves time, gives each party
amore thorough understanding of the Others

Now that Mrs. Cleveland has declined the
invitation to present the flags to the New
York fremen because the President was not
10 take part, the New York Sun thinks q
second letter should be written to Mrs.
Cleveland, expressing great regret that by a
most unfortunate oversight the Presidents
name was omitted from the text Of the orig
inal invitation, assuring her that he, too,
VIII be welcome to New York, and begging
her to reconsider her decision" 1t is much
to be doubted, however, if this insinuation
that the President is so inconsequental per-
son as to be readily overlooked would mend
matters.

The Exeter disaster has, of course, reused
feeling that some stringent measure should
be enacted by Parliament to prevent such
calamities in the future. That is always the
effect. The trouble is that before the feel.
ing can find expression in legislation its in
tensity has greatly diminished. and in conse-
quenee the preventive measure is liable to
be entirely Inadequate or its subsequent en-
